Alan Moore’s The Show gets one night only theatrical release and new U.S. trailer

July 19, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Having acquired the U.S. distribution rights, Shout! Factory has released a new trailerfor The Show, the upcoming fantasy feature from director Mitch Jenkins and acclaimed comic book creator Alan Moore (Watchmen, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen); watch it here…

A frighteningly focused man of many talents, passports and identities arrives at England’s broken heart, a haunted midlands town that has collapsed to a black hole of dreams, only to find that this new territory is at least as strange and dangerous as he is. Attempting to locate a certain person and a certain artefact for his insistent client, he finds himself sinking in a quicksand twilight world of dead Lotharios, comatose sleeping beauties, Voodoo gangsters, masked adventurers, unlikely 1930s private eyes and violent chiaroscuro women…and this is Northhampton when it’s still awake. Once the town closes its eyes there is another world entirely going on beneath the twitching lids, a world of glittering and sinister delirium much worse than any social or economic devastation. Welcome to the British nightmare, with its gorgeous flesh, its tinsel and its luminous light-entertainment monsters; it’s hallucinatory austerity. Welcome to The Show.

The Show stars Tom Burke, Siobhan Hewlett, Ellie Bamber, Sheila Atim, Christopher Fairbank, and Alan Moore. It is set for a U.S. theatrical release for one night only on August 26th.
